The mushroom coffee trend has quickly gained momentum as an alternative to regular coffee, promising increased focus and improved digestion. Made by mixing traditional coffee grounds with functional mushrooms like lion’s mane, chaga, and reishi mushrooms for added benefit; unlike shiitake soup which can sometimes taste earthy or funky after tasting like mushrooms themselves; mushroom coffee doesn’t.

Mushroom coffee often features subtle nutty notes that complement the rich Arabica coffee base, adding another dimension. To craft great mushroom coffees, the key lies in carefully selecting and extracting mushrooms that complement it without overshadowing it; top-grade mushroom coffees also boast subtle, smooth finishes making it easier on stomach than regular coffee options.

People often blend mushroom coffee with regular coffee beans in order to balance out its caffeine levels and taste, providing an ideal way for those who wish to reap the medicinal mushroom benefits but cannot tolerate their strong acidity or bitterness of regular beans. Some brands even provide both caffeinated and non-caffeinated versions for customers’ different preferences.
